Being Intentional and Monitoring Program Goals Video

November 2023 | California Department of Education with WestEd

This 3-minute video from the Multilingual Learning Toolkit, sponsored by the California Department of Education and WestEd, assists administrators of early childhood education centers as they develop a language program. The suggestions included in the video include developing policy goals and ensuring staff understand and buy into them. Embracing hiring goals and community collaboration that brings in teachers and volunteers who speak the native language of children, engaging in data collection models to ensure ongoing commitment to language goals, and taking an asset-based approach to dual language learners all assist programs in intentionally supporting multilingual learners. Though the video is short, it includes helpful tools for administrators and teachers.
